Mystery vintage photo of an old couple sitting on their porch

It's a shame that so many wonderful vintage photos have no information or identification whatsoever on them.1

This 6½-inch-wide photo is mounted on a 9-inch-wide piece of black cardboard. There is no writing or other information on the front or back. So we're left to guess who these people were, when the photo was taken and where they lived.

We know they (apparently) didn't mind having plants and vines grow around and up the sides of their house. They had at least one set of fine clothes. They had some nice-looking chairs on their porch.

What are your thoughts on this photo? Share them in the comments section.

Here's a close look at the couple...
